6S Shaking Table

The 6S Shaking Table is a core piece of gravity concentration equipment used to separate minerals by specific gravity on a riffled table surface. It is commonly applied to tungsten, tin, tantalum, niobium, gold, and other valuable heavy minerals, and it can also be used in iron, manganese, and coal processing where a density-based split is useful.

Material is fed onto the deck along with water, and the deck’s reciprocating motion combined with a controlled cross-slope creates stratification. Heavier particles settle into the riffles and move toward the concentrate side, while lighter gangue is carried away with the wash water. Cross fall and stroke adjustments help tune the separation for different feed characteristics, and the table is typically configured for rough concentration, cleaning (fine concentration), or scavenging depending on where it sits in the circuit.

In practice, this allows a plant to recover value without adding reagents, support a cleaner separation step ahead of flotation or magnetic separation, and improve overall recovery where gravity differences are strong. It is also useful for producing a concentrate and a tailing stream in a single pass when feed sizing and operating conditions are appropriate.

The 6S Shaking Table is often a good fit when you have a screened or classified feed and want a gravity upgrade on coarse sand, fine sand, or slurry fractions. Typical applications include heavy-mineral recovery in crushing and screening circuits, gravity cleanup in milling and classification circuits, and recovery from tailings where sizing and density contrast support separation.

Model selection is driven by deck size and selective area, the target feed-size range, water consumption, stroke and jig frequency ranges, cross fall adjustment, and motor specifications. The technical table below lists each configuration and the stated operating ranges so you can match the table to your feed sizing and circuit requirements.

If you tell us your mineral type, feed sizing (coarse sand, fine sand, or slurry), and target throughput, we can help you select the right 6S Shaking Table configuration and discuss where it fits best in your process flow.

Use this table to compare 6S Shaking Table configurations by table size and selective area, feed-size ranges for coarse sand, fine sand, and slurry, water consumption, adjustable stroke and frequency, cross fall range, motor details (including revolutions per minute (RPM)), overall dimensions, and weight.
